Is this really $399???? It doesn't look any fancier than the $5-$6 models. Is that a typo?

On June 12, 2014, I emailed the Seller BackYardSalesExpert, and asked if $399 was a typo. I never rec'd an answer. Guess their Amazon 67% positive feedback, and lack of a response speaks for itself.

Bought mine for the $30 price. I agree with Bryan that it's probably just different sellers. Go with your wallet!

wtf is right. why is this going for almost 3x it's regular price? surely there is a new and improved version out there (which normally makes the price of the older model go DOWN). does anyone know?

Forgot to mention I paid over $75 more for mine used through Warehouse Deals. It was just a dinged up box model, but I've never seen the price as low as it is now brand new, anywhere! Buy it fast, it's over $100 more mid-winter!

BTW, I just checked the price. It's now 169.00. I paid 159.00. Some other people that left reviews paid less than I did.

HI, This item has alway been priced at the $500 for the one we have for sale. It was not at $399 for sale by our company. Maybe someone else had it for sale at that price. But this is the best we can do on one we have for sale.

$964? I paid $500 for it. Almost a year ago. BTW...I'm a professional remodeler and I've not taken my big 10" SCMS out of storage yet because this is so good, but I'd be hard pressed to pay almost $1000 for it.

I saw it at another big chain store, B...Buy. It was for $350. If T is selling for $179, that is incredible. I will check them out.

I was stated $695.00 after the 1st year for updates,which i think is outrageous. Note:i have one and it has been very eratic (would not buy again)

Thanks Bobster- I was also wondering where the link to the rebate had disappeared to. Why is the price of this item so labile? Yesterday, when I ordered it, it was $299 and today it's $364!

I purchased this for $5.59 in the past. Must be an error or typo, as there are sellers with it for less than $7 here on Amazon... which is STILL steep.

This pricing scheme mostly has to do with a camera special. The price always skyrockets to an exorbitant amount when you are offered a good discount on select lenses when you buy a certain camera(s). After the special is over, the prices go back to normal.$399 was just too ridiculous. The person or program that adjust these prices is whack if they/it thinks someone will pay 25% more than the MSRP. (I wonder how many people actually did... ::facepalm::)

it is deinitely not worth $400. I think I paid about $90. That is probably too much.

I origionally bought the 40" two weeks ago for $1,059.99 from Nebraska Furnitutre Mart (NFM). I though this was an excelent price for a brand new TV of this quality and i was very impressed with the TV no complaints except i wished i had bought a larger model. Yesterday i noticed Best Buy had the 42" on sale for $999.99 and so i called up NFM and asked if i could return my 40" and get the 42". Not only did they let me exchange my model they credited my credit card to the tune of $107.00. NFM had the 42" on sale for only $959.99 which after tax gave me a savings of $107.00 and a larger set. I had played with the 40" picture settings and had arranged them to suit my viewing preference. So far i have not been able to set the 42" to my liking. And i'm hopeing i can make the correct adjustments. The TV does seem to be the correct size for my lounge and so i am very happy i made the up grade (especially as i am $107.00 better off). I do feel that the 40" had a better picture. This seems insane as it has the same technology but for some reason the 40" seemed to have a sharper picture. It may just be i can see the imperfections on the larger screen. Anyway getting back to your point, the only reason i can think for pricing this TV less than the 40" model is to reduce the stock on the 42" model. I'm guessing they sold a bunch of 40" models over Thanksgiving and felt they needed to reduce stock on the 42" model. We will probably see new technology replacing this model and so i guess its out with the old and in with the new.

No. I paid 4.99 when I got it. It's nice but not worth more than 10 in my opinion. Definitely not worth 30.

I am waiting for the same thing. I already have it in my cart, but I'm not checking out until there is a promotional code bringing the total to <$1200.00. I check on it several times a day.
